    yep. some people don't tkae poker as seriously as other tho and like to have fun and showing when they hit a set/flush or when they bluff is part of it.  just use the info they're giving like what they are limping in with/what they're riasing with etc and use it when you are in a hand with them.

    I show my cards very frequently, but note what I have shown. I use it to build an image. If I show a rank bluff - that's the last one, but I can commit to the pot in the same way later with the nuts.

    I lose a lot :)

    This is not something I personally wish to do (i do not go for winding ppl up) but I have on occassions been asked what I had when opponent has folded. So when I tell them they on occassions choose not to believe me and ask me to show them which i have not got a problem with, if only I knew how.
    I was told to 'untick' the 'muck losing hands' box, which I did and still it didn't show my next winning hand
    after everyone else had folded.
    Is this the correct procedure ? ..............if not, could someone explain it to me pls............tyvm.

    look in "options" top left of the box, and there's a check box you can unclick. The box you unclicked allows you to show when you lose (I rarely (never)do this).

    thankfully never been clever enough to work out how to show my cards - but i really cannot see any advantage in doing so - i agreed with scotty - just take notes

    It's not something i really wish to do but just once in a while you get someone replying 'bu...ll.....sh...it' at you when you take a pot down with a hugh bet that's not been called and I just feel the need to prove a point.
